Greetings,
I’m using the IP Camera app for iOS (which streams rtsp and http streams). I’ve got the devices setup and working well as a live video monitor using the generic camera platform.
From what I can tell, the app does not provide a “snapshot” function (returning a photo). Instead, you can call /getsnapshot and it will capture an image locally and return the filename, then you can call /getarchives/filename to retrieve the image. You can also call /getarchivelist to get a list of snapshots that were taken.
has anyone already solved this?
I’m considering a custom component to solve this, but wanted to see if others had ideas that i’m overlooking. Can I run curl scripts and chain the request somehow to enable the “camera.snapshot” service to execute the “trigger snapshot, then retrieve snapshot” workflow?
thanks.
